msm

• created by atkinson and shiffrin
• 3 stores - sensory register - stm - ltm
• from sensory register to stm - pay attention
• from stm to ltm - must encode the info
• from ltm to stm - retrieval
• sensory - holds info from environment - large capacity - brief duration - not specifically coded any sense that comes in
• stm - capacity 7 +/- 2 - less than 30s duration - coded acoustically - rehersal moved into ltm
• ltm - unlimited capacity - duration of a lifetime - coded semantically
• crit - kf study - stm damaged but ltm still works - shouldn't with this model
• crit - simplistic model
• support for msm - research support - bahrick - miller - peterson and peterson
